The Divine Worship was celebrated also by:

His Holiness Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia Cyril
His Holiness Orthodox Metropolitan of Belgrade Serbian Patriarch Irenaeus
His Holiness Orthodox Archbishop of Bucharest Romanian Patriarch Daniel
His Beatitude Orthodox Archbishop of Nova Justiniana and all Cyprus Chrysostom II

His Beatitude Orthodox Metropolitan of Warsaw and all Poland Sawa
His Beatitude Orthodox Archbishop of Preshov and all Czech and Slovak Lands Rastislav
His Beatitude Orthodox Archbishop of Washington and all America Tikhon
Orthodox Bishops from the Moscow Patriarchate and other local Orthodox Churches.

Yes, Patriarch John X was most definitely there, as well as a Metropolitan of the Georgian Church, whose Patriarch's health didn't allow him to travel. He was here last year for Patriarch Kirill's 70th birthday, however.

Patriarch John X is to the right if Patriarch Kirill here: https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_FtrdGWHBps/WiNythZ-NpI/AAAAAAABBEc/G53XesQQ-skxWkb2kEAzWgU2BWfgh7seQCLcBGAs/s1600/20171202-VAR_0690-%25D0%25BE%25D0%25B1%25D1%2580.jpg

"The World is trying the experiment of attempting to form a civilized but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time: so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilization, and save the World from suicide."
